There is a River in the Levant named Abraham and every February due to the volume of Soil washed off the mountains due to heavy rain , the water turns Red , making it appear that the river is filled with Blood.
Paus. 4.35
Red water, in color like blood, is found in the land of the Hebrews near the city of Joppa. The water is close to the sea, and the account which the natives give of the spring is that Perseus, after destroying the sea-monster, to which the daughter of Cepheus was exposed, washed off the blood in the spring.
' Cepheus King of Aethiopia '
The name Cepheus is from the Hebrew 'סוּף/ שָׂפָה' / cuwph , thus Aethiopia is from יָפוֹה thus it could simply be יָפוֹה ( IPUE ) + ἄστυ ( Town ) but the root word of יָפוֹה is פֶּה that is also the root of סוּף / שָׂפָה and Aeth in Hebrew is אֵשׁ / אוּד ' Aud / Ash
Exodus 4:9
that thou shalt take the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land
The water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
The word 'dry land' ( יַבָּשָׁה ) that appears in Jonah 2:10 ' the fish vomited Jonah upon the dry land '
In the Septuagint, this fish is called κῆτος ( Cetus ) , that is the Sea-monster whom Perseus slew that turned the River Red, the name Cetus, but also Ceto or Atargatis
Joppa is mentioned in Joshua 19:46 ' Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho
The Septuagint, reads
מֵי הַיַּרְקון as ' Sea of Ierakon ' and thus רַקּוֹן ' Rakon' is duplication in the Masoretic and רַקּוֹן is δράκων ' Dragon / Kraken ' ' Sea Monster' , these words are related to רָקַק /raqaq (Spit) and קִיא /Qia ( Vomit )
" the fish, and it vomited out Jonah " Septuagint writes "Cetus threw the Jonah(Dove) upon dry land "
Jonah also means 'dove ' /יוֹנָה indeed a parallel to this verse occurs in Gen 8:10/12 , ' he sent forth the dove(Jonah) out of the ark " after which 'the dry land was found ' .
"the wrath of Poseidon who sent the sea monster 'Cetus' to attack Æth-Jopia "
" Jon 1:3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish and went down to Joppa "
" LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. "
Homer's Lliad
The stronghold of godlike Herakles, earth-piled on both sides, a high place, which the Trojans and Pallas Athene had built him as a place to escape where he could get away from the Ketos when the charging monster drove him away to the plain from the sea-shore (שְׂפַת הַיָּֽם)
